Defined by the lucky-charm motif that would become a house signature, the Alhambra collection was launched by < a href=" http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/van-cleef-arpels/" style="text-decoration: none"><font color="black"><b>Van Cleef & Arpels</b></font></a> in 1968 and has been a symbol for fortune, health and love ever since. Though the design has continued to evolve over the years, these Vintage Alhambra <b>earrings</b> stay true to the timeless appeal of the iconic original. Meticulously handcrafted from white gold, they feature white mother-of-pearl stones, complete with distinctive curves and a round bead setting.
